Reinforcement of ball shaped MoS2 nanoparticles in epoxy resin.

The present work involves the synthesis of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles by annealing the precursor obtained from simple reflux method. XRD, FESEM and HRTEM confirmed the formation of 2H-MoS2 with ball shaped particles, where some of them possess coalesced dumbbell morphology. The reinforcement of polysulphide modified epoxy resin (PSER) by MoS2 with varying amounts from 0.
